    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

(inquiry) Rick Denmon @ Ball Boutique

Rick, who wrote this responce. was it Joe, sounds an awful like his words. :D

I think a big point of contention is the fact you gentlemen are selling unhatched babies, and we all know about the problems that caused Joey when there were more orders than actual snakes to sell, and how would you represent an unborn snake? :rofl:

Its really great to hear how your sales have gone up due to recent events, sounds a little like the Matt Graybeal Theory. :thumbsup:

I don't get it.
Does it matter if I purchase animals from Ian, JY, Pete, Ralph or Joe or even you to resell. I do not sell import normals that are over priced like Ed to folks that do not know the TRUE value. Yet I am being bashed.
I must openly say the following. NO ONE HAS BEEN DISSATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY ANIMALS NOR JOE'S ANIMALS....PERIOD
FIND ONE PLEASE. THIS IS A BASHING THREAD WITH NO SUBSTANCE. They hate Joe so I am a bad guy. Both Joe, Wes, Tracy and Dave and myself do NOT misrepresent our animals. I would rather be in VPI's camp any day than those bashing me.
BTW congrats to the old MKR and VPI for those awesome clutches of LA's
I have no problems with folks who want to pay more for there animals....It is their choice!
To me this is about a few disgruntled folks from another forum. Nothing to do with what this BOI is all about.
I have received support via emails and phone calls and sales has gone up too because of my business practices from before and now.
So the folks will know were to shop for great prices and quality animals.
No normals here for $400.00!

Thanks,

I don't know...why have you been lying about the true nature of your relationship with Joe?

Does it matter if I purchase animals from Ian, JY, Pete, Ralph or Joe or even you to resell.
But you don't resell for all of those people...you only resell for Joe, and in case you've missed the point, Joe is the guy that everyone has a problem with.

Yet I am being bashed.
Yes, because you are the broker for a known scumbag. Did you miss my earlier statment about the fact that people will judge you by the company you keep?

Both Joe, Wes, Tracy and Dave and myself do NOT misrepresent our animals. I would rather be in VPI's camp any day than those bashing me.
Perhaps you could convince Dave or Tracy to come on here and vouch for you and Joe? As has already been pointed out, you certainly throw their names around a lot. I'm curious as to what they would have to say about your doing so. :shrug01:

To me this is about a few disgruntled folks from another forum. Nothing to do with what this BOI is all about.
I don't even know what forum you're talking about. The problem is this...
YOU, Rick, have partnered up with someone whom most people in the industry consider a scumbag. How could you possibly think that it wouldn't affect your reputation?

I have received support via emails and phone calls and sales has gone up too because of my business practices from before and now.
Oh yeah...we've NEVER heard that line before! LOL! Give me a break. :rolleyes:

Rick Denmon
President and proud owner of Ball Boutique, Inc.
Don't forget: Business partner with Joe Capone the known scumbag.
 
Rick, What is your business relationship with VPI, Dave and Tracy Barker? do you have a business relationship with VPI or are you just using their names to try and gain credibility? :eek:

I posted that VPI had a breeding loan with Joe and they produced Lavender Albinos 50% het LA snows.
That was posted way back.
If VPI wanted to do a breeding loan with Joe's LA than I feel I am in great company! Why did she not go with RDR? He produced Joe's animal.

Exactly.

Welcome back, John. ;)

TY, Cathy! :)

Rick, You sent me an email stating Vpi and Joey are partners.. Should I post that email Here? Should so :shrug01: meone Warn VPI first? You know if this gets out, Vpi is a Big Nut to crack! I'd hate to be you if you Were LYING again!!

Jas -

I think it would be helpful to post anything you have that could shed some light on this "association" with VPI.

As far as the breeder loan with Joe Capone goes - until that is substaniated it is merely a hearsay.
 
Rick, you think you can lie to everyone here and it is just fine? Joe thinks this same way, why don't you get it? Joe is a car dealer, it comes with the territory to tell lie after lie when selling lemons. He has done the same in our hobby. He is not welcome in our hobby as far as many people are concerned. You followed him and thus became the same as your partner.

Lies do not cut it here, bottom line!! Welcome to the BOI!!
You could have told the truth, but you chose not to. It is all about you, and your actions, not ED or anyone else, just you and your partners.
 
BTW, welcome back John!! We missed you!! :thumbsup:

That's Wes - not Joe.

Are you Joe's partner, Wes' Partner, or both of their partner?

No partnership with Joe or Wes.....period.
I purchased animals from both for resale.
Ok Wes is "Wes Harris Reptiles."
and Joe is Powerhouse Reptiles.
I never re-sold animals from MKR.
I sell the animals under Ball Boutique, Inc.
All three of us conduct business above board and are not underground.
I file an 1120S to federal and to the state of PA.

What is the truth Rick???? You are saying two different things in this one post, do you think everyone is blind here??

You Forgot Tracy... Where does she fit in?
 
Let me get this straight, Joe has his own site, Wes has his own site, You have yours, but Wes and Joe are still together at MKR. You are selling animals for both of them, but you are not any kind of partner.
